BIO
Few bands arouse a crowd into a collective shake like Flow Tribe. The six-member
band’s onstage chemistry reflects a seamless combination of soul and movement that hits
the audience within the first few notes. Virgin listeners and avid fans alike are drawn in
by the distinctive sound that feels both familiar and original. From major festival stages
around the world to leading a parade down the street, this is a group of professional
musicians who’ve found their passion, and are living a dream where everyone’s
welcome.
Second line brass and Cuban-Caribbean rhythms meld with R&B, soul, rock, and hip-hop
beats in high-energy performances that turn every show into a celebration. New Orleans
is influence itself, the unparalleled free and easy city weaving its way into track after
track of original scores that make up a single definition of sound, which Flow Tribe has
dubbed “backbone-cracking music.”
K.C. O’Rorke (vocals, trumpet), John-Michael Early (harmonica, washboard, vocals,
keyboard), Nick Solnick (drums), Chad Penot (bass, vocals), Bryan Santos (guitar,
timbales), and Mario Palmisano (guitar) are native New Orleanians and high school pals
who’ve been writing music and playing live shows since the band’s inception in 2004.
Post graduation, they went their separate ways, but after Katrina, each returned to their
hometown, inherently becoming active members in the rebuilding of a
community that’s stronger than ever.
In 2017 Flow Tribe teamed up with legendary Hip Hop producer Mannie Fresh (Lil
Wayne, Big Tymers) to create the album “BOSS”. The album reached #55 on the
Billboard R&B charts and #5 on the Relix/Jambands.com chart reflecting the diversity of
sound represented on the album. After relentless touring, Flow Tribe completed building
a state of the art studio in New Orleans called Downman Sounds. They are now putting
the finishing touches on a 2-part EP coming out in late 2018 and 2019.
